This application claims the benefit of China Patent Application No. 202210199530.8 filed Mar. 2, 2022, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
TECHNICAL FIELDThe disclosure relates to the technical field of vehicles, and in particular to a cup holder assembly and a vehicle having the cup holder assembly.
BACKGROUNDAs one of the most common configurations of vehicle interiors, a cup holder is usually mounted on an auxiliary instrument panel between a driver's seat and a passenger seat, with a main function of placing a cup or another item. The cup holder can be designed not only to place an item, but also to play a certain role in beautification and decoration.
Currently, cup holders in the prior art are of multiple types mainly including a fixed type, a lifting type, a roller shutter type, a turnover type, etc. A cup holder in a lifting cup holder can move up and down in a cavity for accommodating a cup, so that the cup holder can close the cavity for an aesthetic effect when idle, and is hidden in the cavity when operating, to support the cup. For example, a Chinese utility model patent no. CN 213973730 U discloses a lifting cup holder for a vehicle. The lifting cup holder for a vehicle comprises components such as a shell of a substantially cup-shaped structure, a lifting support plate arranged in the shell in a liftable manner, a buffer assembly in linkage connection with the lifting support plate to slow down the movement of the lifting support plate, and a lift assembly. The lift assembly is provided with an annular connecting end abutting against an annular limiting ring located on a lower end face of the lifting support plate. The lifting support plate cannot translate in a horizontal direction relative to the annular connecting end, so that the lifting support plate and the annular connecting end are fixed together by means of the annular limiting ring, thereby preventing the lifting support plate from moving in a non-vertical direction.
As mentioned in the above utility model patent, the lifting cup holder in the prior art extends substantially in the horizontal direction in an idle state and an operating state, and a profile angle of the cup holder cannot be adjusted, so that it is difficult to meet personalized and aesthetic requirements for vehicle interiors.
Thus, a new technical solution is needed in the art to solve the above problem.
BRIEF SUMMARYIn order to solve the technical problem in the prior art that a profile angle of a lifting cup holder cannot be changed, the disclosure provides a cup holder assembly. The cup holder assembly comprises: a mounting barrel having a circumferential wall extending in a vertical direction and a top opening obliquely extending downwards from a front portion of the mounting barrel to a rear portion of the mounting barrel, the circumferential wall enclosing an accommodating cavity extending in the vertical direction; a synchronizer disc arranged in the accommodating cavity; a cup holder rotatably fixed to the synchronizer disc and having an axis of rotation extending in a width direction of the cup holder; a lifting mechanism connected to the synchronizer disc; and an angle adjusting mechanism configured to be connected to each of the cup holder, the lifting mechanism, and the synchronizer disc, so that the cup holder is rotatable about the axis of rotation while rising and lowering in the vertical direction, so as to move between an inclined initial position in which the cup holder is located at the top opening and a horizontal operating position in which the cup holder is located in the accommodating cavity.
The cup holder assembly according to the disclosure comprises components such as the mounting barrel, the synchronizer disc, the cup holder, the lifting mechanism, and the angle adjusting mechanism. The mounting barrel has the circumferential wall extending in the vertical direction and the top opening obliquely extending downwards from the front portion of the mounting barrel to the rear portion thereof. The circumferential wall encloses the accommodating cavity also extending in the vertical direction, to accommodate an item such as a cup. The synchronizer disc is arranged in the accommodating cavity, so as to cooperate with another component. The cup holder rotatably covers the synchronizer disc and has the axis of rotation extending in the width direction of the cup holder. The lifting mechanism is configured to be connected to the synchronizer disc, so that the cup holder fixed to the synchronizer disc can move up and down in the accommodating cavity. The angle adjusting mechanism is configured to be connected to each of the cup holder, the lifting mechanism, and the synchronizer disc, so that the cup holder is rotatable about the axis of rotation while rising and lowering in the vertical direction. With the above arrangement, the cup holder can move between an inclined initial position in which the cup holder is located at the top opening of the mounting barrel and a horizontal operating position in which the cup holder is located in the accommodating cavity. In other words, the cup holder can be adjusted in the profile angle while rising and lowering. Specifically, when the cup holder is in the initial position, the cup holder is located at the top opening of the mounting barrel, so that the top opening can be conveniently closed, and an inclined cup holder profile can also meet personalized and aesthetic requirements of an appearance design, thereby improving a user's sensory experience.

Those skilled in the art should understand that these implementations are only used to explain the technical principles of the disclosure, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the disclosure.
It should be noted that, in the description of the disclosure, the terms that indicate the direction or positional relationship, such as “upper”, “lower”, “left”, “right”, “inner”, and “outer”, are based on the direction or positional relationship shown in the figures, which is merely for ease of description instead of indicating or implying that the device or element must have a particular orientation and be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore, should not be construed as limiting the disclosure. Furthermore, the terms “first” and “second” are used for descriptive purposes only, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
In addition, it should also be noted that, in the description of the disclosure, the terms “arrange” and “connect” should be interpreted in a broad sense unless explicitly defined and limited otherwise. For example, a connection may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; and may be a direct connection, an indirect connection by means of an intermediate medium, or internal communication between two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above-mentioned terms in the disclosure can be interpreted according to the specific situation.
In order to solve the technical problem in the prior art that a profile angle of a lifting cup holder cannot be changed, the disclosure provides a cup holder assembly 1. The cup holder assembly 1 comprises: a mounting barrel 10, the mounting barrel 10 having a circumferential wall 11 extending in a vertical direction and a top opening 13 obliquely extending downwards from a front portion 10a of the mounting barrel 10 to a rear portion 10b of the mounting barrel 10, and the circumferential wall 11 enclosing an accommodating cavity 14 extending in the vertical direction; a synchronizer disc 30, the synchronizer disc 30 being arranged in the accommodating cavity 14; a cup holder 20, the cup holder 20 being rotatably fixed to the synchronizer disc 30 and having an axis of rotation extending in a width direction of the cup holder 20; a lifting mechanism 40, the lifting mechanism 40 being connected to the synchronizer disc 30; and an angle adjusting mechanism 50, the angle adjusting mechanism 50 being configured to be connected to each of the cup holder 20, the synchronizer disc 30, and the lifting mechanism 40, so that the cup holder 20 is rotatable about the axis of rotation while rising and lowering in the vertical direction, so as to move between an inclined initial position in which the cup holder is located at the top opening 13 and a horizontal operating position in which the cup holder is located in the accommodating cavity 14.

When the cup holder 20 is subjected to a vertically downward external force in the initial position, the synchronizer disc 30 connected to the cup holder 20 is stressed to move downward, so that the lifting gear shaft 41 of the lifting mechanism 40 rotates in cooperation with the front lifting rack 42 and the rear lifting rack 44. In this process, the bevel gear 414 on the lifting gear shaft 41 drives the planetary gear 51 in the angle adjusting mechanism 50 to rotate, and the planetary gear 51 drives the sun gear 52 to rotate slowly. At the same time, the spiral sliding slot 5221 in the sun gear 52 slides relative to the slider 532 in the connector 53 during rotation. When the second rotating shaft 311 is arranged close to the rear portion 10b of the mounting barrel 10, since the cup holder 20 is fixedly connected to the synchronizer disc 30 by means of the second rotating shaft 311, the cup holder 20 close to the front portion 10a of the mounting barrel 10 moves in a direction close to the synchronizer disc 30, so that the cup holder 20 rotates about the second rotating shaft 311 while rising and lowering, thereby implementing the movement from the inclined initial position to the horizontal operating position. Accordingly, when the second rotating shaft 311 is arranged close to the front portion 10a of the mounting barrel 10, the cup holder 20 close to the rear portion 10b of the mounting barrel 10 moves in a direction away from the synchronizer disc 30, which can also implement the adjustment of the profile angle of the cup holder 20 while rising and lowering.
